They could still play without Isabella, but it was missing the same joy and carefree spirit."Dad." Jojo pursed his lips, suddenly thinking of a question. Hunter shifted his gaze to look at him, saying, "Yes?""Can I go to the same school as Isabella in the future? I want to protect her and keep her happy like this forever," Jojo asked, with a glimmer of hope in his heart.Most importantly, he did not want anyone like Nick to appear again. The last time Isabella played with Nick, she immediately forgot about him."That depends on whether Isabella wants to go to the same school as you. You're older than her, so you'll start elementary school, middle school, high school, and college ahead of her," Hunter replied patiently, rubbing his head.After a moment of thought, Jojo asked again, "Can I wait for her and go to school together?""No," Hunter rejected without much consideration. Jojo drooped his head, feeling a bit upset.Hunter was surprised at Jojo's reaction. However, he di

Isaiah was stunned and looked at Joshua with a hint of curiosity. He could not help but wonder who Joshua really was. "Sure thing," Isabella responded quickly.Half an hour later, Isabella and Isaiah changed into clean outfits, looking neat and tidy. As they sat on the couch to rest, Isabella deliberately sat beside Joshua, her face exuding an adorable innocence as she cooed, "Uncle Joshua...""Hmm?" Joshua was extremely indulgent toward her."Can you come to our house later? You've been so nice to me and Isaiah, and I want Mommy and Daddy to thank you." Isabella's large, sparkling eyes held a glint of anticipation.Joshua declined, saying, "No need. It's no big deal.""Huh?" Isaiah sensed that something was off."I'm an adult, and you're kids. Taking care of you is the least I can do, right?" Joshua offered a simple explanation, aware that Isaiah was quite sensitive."Not really. Mommy said no one should expect kindness from others as a matter of course. If someone is kind to

"When we first arrived, your eyes were glued on me and Isabella. It wasn't a curious or assessing look. It felt like you were seeing someone through us," Isaiah said, remaining calm."Why do you think so much? You're still a kid." Joshua did not give a direct answer.Isaiah still felt uncertain, "Was my guess correct?""Kids shouldn't concern themselves with adult matters. What will you do once you have the answer? Like me more or keep Isabella away from me?"Isaiah was surprised, already figuring out an answer to that question.He would likely gain another worry."Just treat me as another uncle. Don't always act like a little adult," Joshua continued, rubbing Isaiah's head and gently pinching his cheek.Isaiah looked at him but ultimately did not say anything.Just then, Isabella bounded out, her eyes wide with disbelief as she covered her mouth dramatically. Then, she exclaimed, "Isaiah, you actually let Uncle Joshua pinch your cheek!"Isaiah remained silent.Joshua was puz

Isabella just wanted to play with Joshua, nothing else. Isaiah pursed his lips, unsure of what to say. If his earlier guesses were correct, Joshua would likely indulge Isabella, pamper her, and cater to her wishes."Daddy and Mommy said that people should work hard for the things and people they love, right? I like Uncle Joshua now, so is it wrong if I want to play with him more?" Isabella said, her voice sweet as honey."No, it's not wrong," Joshua replied."So, are you coming to our house tonight?" Isabella asked again.Joshua remained silent. His hands, previously relaxed on his sides, unconsciously tense. Though he did not show it, Isaiah could tell he was getting nervous and uncomfortable.Isaiah helped him by saying, "It's getting late. Are you sure you'll have time to play with Uncle Joshua?"Isabella pondered for a moment, realizing that she might not have time."Be a good girl and wait until Uncle Joshua has some free time to come see you," Isaiah said, pulling her besi

Isabella thought Joshua was just as reliable as Matthew."No, thank you. I'll stay with you for another twenty minutes, but I must leave at forty past six," Joshua heartlessly refused, but he did give her a small compromise. "Okay," Isabella agreed.For the next twenty minutes, Isabella and Joshua sat together, chatting about childish things. Watching this scene, Isaiah could not quite put his feelings into words. Except for Matthew, even Kendrick could not achieve this level of connection.Isaiah could not help but wonder what exactly Joshua and Cynthia's relationship was."Sir, Mr. and Mrs. Quier are here to pick up the two children," the butler suddenly walked in from outside and said. Joshua stiffened all over, and Hunter stood up. "Let's go, I'll see you out."Isabella reluctantly stood up. After a few glances at Joshua, she obediently followed Isaiah out.Joshua followed behind them. When they reached the door, he deliberately found a spot to hide, standing behind som

"Mommy and Daddy are here. Let me introduce you to them," Isabella said, holding Joshua's hand and walking toward them. She continued, "They're as good-looking as you, so you'll definitely get along."Joshua accompanied her outside, feeling a complex mix of emotions. Along the way, he could not help but ask, "Who told you that good-looking people always get along?""Because good-looking people always do," Isabella replied matter-of-factly.Joshua pursed his lips but ultimately did not say anything more.Outside, Cynthia and Matthew were waiting. Seeing Isabella rushing toward them with such excitement, Cynthia turned to Isaiah and asked, "Which Uncle Joshua is Isabella talking about?""Just... Uncle Joshua." Isaiah could not give a proper answer, not because he did not want to say more, but because Joshua had not acknowledged anything before, leaving him unsure of how to introduce him. Although they spent most of the day together, they still did not know the man's surname.Cynthi

"No need. Both kids are adorable. Anyone else would find it hard to resist taking care of them," Joshua said. His perfect features and pleasant voice were quite captivating."Hehe," Isabella giggled happily, appreciating the compliment.Isaiah, sitting quietly by the window, chose to remain silent. He was now 100% sure that Joshua and Matthew were rivals in love, and Joshua had previously had feelings for Cynthia.When he got back home, his first instinct was to search online. With his current hacking skills, finding information was not difficult. However, as he stared at the information he had uncovered, he was shocked.Joshua was once married to Cynthia?! In the living room downstairs, Cynthia and Matthew sat together in the living room downstairs while Isabella sat beside Joshua. As Claire brought in some fruits and drinks, they engaged in casual conversation."Have some fruit," Cynthia said flatly."Okay," Joshua replied."Are there any lasting effects from your previous i

"Feel free to ask any questions," Joshua said, his deep, dark eyes filled with focus and seriousness.Unable to shake off her complex emotions, Cynthia asked, "Why do you want to have Isabella as your goddaughter?" Joshua had already anticipated this question and answered, "I want someone to take care of me in my old age."Cynthia and Matthew exchanged puzzled glances, finding this response odd."Don't you plan on getting married and having children?" Cynthia struggled to put her feelings into words."Not at the moment," Joshua replied frankly. Joshua thought he did not manage his previous marriage well, and he did not want to harm anyone else. Most importantly, he had learned a lesson: not to invite someone into his heart until he was fully ready. Even though he could let go of some things now, if something happened to Cynthia one day and he had to choose between Cynthia and his current partner, he might not hesitate to choose Cynthia. In such a case, it was better not to s

Isabella glared at Nick. He actually betrayed her! Caught off guard by Luther's honesty, Nick quickly explained, "Don't look at me like that. Luther forced me to do it. If I didn't agree to his request, he would've spilled my past to my current girlfriend.""Current girlfriend?" Isabella looked puzzled.Nick confessed honestly, "My new girlfriend."Isabella was at a loss for words. Nick was very handsome. His looks could rival top celebrities. Naturally, with his face and charisma, he had no shortage of admirers. That led to a habit of frequently changing girlfriends."I made my rules clear to her. No shady behavior allowed," Nick added quickly, sensing what Isabella was thinking.Hearing this, Isabella did not say much.A moment later, Luther, seeing that their conversation had wrapped up, took Isabella's hand and left. On the way back, he deliberately brought up the topic of proposals."What kind of proposal do you like?" Luther asked."Anything works," Isabella replied
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1501
There was a time when Isabella considered letting Luther propose to her. However, he had not shown any signs that he would or asked for her ring size. There was no need to overthink it; that fool probably had not even thought about it. Nonetheless, Isabella did not blame Luther. After all, she was well aware that everyone expressed love differently. Yet, that was also precisely why she wanted to propose to him, to make him understand just how much she cared."What's wrong?" Annie asked, concerned."I'm just worried," Isabella replied. The ring sizes had been a constant worry for her."Because of what you just mentioned?"Isabella nodded. "Yeah.""Why do you want to propose to him?" Annie looked toward a dark corner. "In most relationships, the boyfriend proposes to the girlfriend, right?""I want him to feel loved," Isabella answered simply.Luther was different from most people; he always suppressed his negative emotions and limited his freedom. He no longer wanted to restr

"No," Luther declined; he still wanted to be the one proposing to her."Okay," Joshua agreed readily.Luther nodded, letting his mind wander. In the following days, Isabella kept checking on the progress, each time being informed that there was no opportunity to measure Luther's finger.In the blink of an eye, three days passed.Cynthia and Matthew had a conversation with Isaiah.Due to prior preparation, Isaiah handled Cynthia and Matthew's questions smoothly. Although they knew Isaiah had not been entirely truthful, based on his attitude toward Sandra, they agreed to the marriage without excessive probing into his relationship with her.As for Isabella, she waited for a few days but had not received any news. Frustrated, she decided to go to Jiverton herself to find Luther.When Joshua heard about her plan, he asked her to give him a bit more time. He assured her he would have the sizes by next Friday at the latest."Really?" Isabella was worried about running out of time.
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1499
"Okay." Isaiah already had a plan in mind.After discussing the matter, the two did not say much more. In the following two days, Cynthia and Matthew stayed home while Isabella prepared the details and processes for the proposal.However, after going through the general plan, Isabella suddenly realized a problem. She did not know Luther's ring size. How could she prepare a ring for the proposal without knowing the size?Realizing this issue, she immediately thought of flying to Jiverton to find out but hesitated due to Luther's caution. If she returned so soon after just coming back, he would surely be suspicious. After much contemplation, she came up with a solution—Joshua.When Isabella called, Joshua happened to be having a meal with Luther."I'm not busy, what's up?""I need your help with something," Isabella said, trusting Joshua's abilities, "but Luther can't know about it."Joshua instinctively glanced at Luther.Luther was confused. He glanced at Joshua's phone and

"Quit the act," Matthew said to Isabella, "It's too bad."Isabella stayed quiet. Matthew bluntly stated, "Isaiah currently oversees the company, and the annual revenue has been consistently increasing under his management. He even took a few subsidiaries public.""And?" Isabella inquired."He has a talent for this," Matthew hinted, leaving Isabella puzzled as she struggled to keep up with Matthew's pace."He's barely in his twenties, so there's no rush to get married," Matthew explained. He saw through everything, understanding Isaiah well, adding, "If there were truly such a concern, he could easily establish a company under Sandra's name in the next few years, operate it until it goes public."With Isaiah's abilities and connections, starting a company and taking it public would be a simple task. After the IPO and proper management, Sandra's value would naturally rise. This would effortlessly 'shut their mouths'. Isabella wanted to say something, realizing her dad's words

"That depends on the secret he's keeping," Matthew responded immediately, taking the opportunity to tease Isaiah, "If it's something against our moral values, it'd be hard not to form an opinion, even if we try not to.""He's not that kind of person," Isabella defended Isaiah.Matthew did not respond but just sat there. Their father-son dynamic involved banter and teasing, but when it came down to it, they genuinely cared about each other."He's just worried that you might object to Sandra's background," Isabella continued to spin her tale convincingly.Cynthia and Matthew were confused, both staring at Isabella.Isabella felt a bit uneasy. Something seemed off with her parents' expressions. "What's wrong?""Are you sure Isaiah is worried about this?" Cynthia asked.Why was their beloved daughter so bad at lying? Not catching on, Isabella nodded, "Absolutely.""Setting aside the fact that we've always taught you not to treat people differently based on their family background
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1496
"Ah, I see." Isabella breathed a sigh of relief and purposely asked, "Is it possible that Isaiah got to know Sandra through Uncle Yves and Uncle Sean?""It's unlikely," Cynthia denied. Even though they had not arranged any blind dates or rushed Isaiah into marriage, given his personality, he would not seek an introduction from anyone."Whenever you have time, ask Isaiah to bring his girlfriend home," Cynthia said, truly wishing for her children to find happiness. Isabella agreed, "Sure.""Isabella," Cynthia suddenly spoke up.Putting away her plan book, Isabella responded, "Hmm?""Do you think I look stern?" Cynthia sounded gentler than usual, lacking the usual nonchalance.Having been accustomed to being herself, Cynthia found it a bit awkward to take on the role of an elder suddenly. If she left a bad impression on Sandra during their first meeting, it could easily jeopardize Isaiah's relationship."Not at all," Isabella spoke sincerely, looking at Cynthia affectionately. "Y

Isaiah had seen through their plans. He knew that his parents' friends enjoyed watching him banter with Matthew. Every time something was like this, they would eagerly make things difficult for him.Early the next morning, Mitchell and the others began implementing the plan. Initially, Matthew did not suspect anything and thought they genuinely had urgent matters to attend to and brought Cynthia back home first.Considering Luther's upcoming proposal, they decided not to travel the world but instead explored nearby cities. After Mitchell and the others called Matthew aside, Isabella approached Cynthia. Cynthia was surprised to learn about Isabella and Isaiah's plan."Aren't you afraid of getting in trouble?" Cynthia asked."Not at all," Isabella responded very directly, her mind focused on planning her and Luther's engagement. "Isaiah said he can handle this matter, so let's discuss the proposal first. I've thought about several options, but none seem good enough.""Okay," Cynth

Isaiah was surprised."Take her to shoot wedding photos first," Isabella suggested seriously. After giving it some thought, Isaiah said, "I'll ask her during dinner.""Why bother asking?" Isabella thought Isaiah's emotional intelligence was lacking, and Sandra's expectations were too low. "Just pick a few reputable studios and let her choose one she likes."During their conversation, Isabella noticed that Sandra was slightly anticipating a wedding, although she had refused for some unknown reason. If she was not truly opposed to weddings, there should not be an issue with pre-wedding photos."If you give it directly to her, she'll probably say she doesn't need it," Isabella coined. She could see through people and was quite clever.Isaiah clearly did not consider this possibility."Take a look at these studios. My friends suggested them," Isabella had already made the selections and recommended them to him. "Weren't you against my decision before?" Isaiah, not understanding h
